The following packages you requested were not found:
perl-libxml-perl-0.07-28.noarch


This will work if I run up2date perl-libxml-perl, but that is pretty
poor usability.

up2date-4.2.38-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date --showall
2. Choose any line
3. Feed as argument to up2date
    

Actual Results:  Package not found.

Expected Results:  For package to be installed.
